What are the Democrats hiding about impeachment inquiry? (Husseincare part 2)
NY Post ^ | 10/14/19 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 10/15/2019 2:26:13 AM PDT by Libloather

America’s top two Trump-hating newspapers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, have now both called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to hold a vote of the full House of Representatives to make the “impeachment inquiry” truly official - and to set rules like those for the inquiries targeting Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, so that the minority party and the White House weren’t totally sidelined.

So far, though, Pelosi and her impeachment pointman, Rep. Adam Schiff, are moving the opposite way.

President Trump and other Republicans have been complaining about Schiff’s decision to hold most hearings behind closed doors, yet the Intelligence Committee chief opted for even greater secrecy in last Friday’s questioning of Marie Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Ukraine - conducting it as a deposition, which makes it a criminal offense for either side to discuss her answers.

That keeps even the rest of the House in the dark about everything except the opening statement Yovanovitch made public.

Schiff is going to even greater lengths when it comes to the whistleblower whose complaint launched this whole … adventure. He might not even have the guy testify - which would remove any chance for anyone to probe his motives and biases.

Schiff is a whistleblower. He blows his whistle all day long and all night long...

The Democrat Leftist’s secret meetings must not be referred to as an Impeachment Inquiry, which tends to lend it some semblance of legitimacy. It must be called what it actually is, and that is Treason Committee, for that is what it is, and that is exactly what they are doing behind close doors, plotting and detailing the efforts to overthrow a duly-elected President and overthrow the will of the People.

Republicans are taking notes for the next time they have a House majority under a democrat president.

There is definitely no “whistleblower”. Likely there are various spies and traitors.

“The demorats are secretly conspiring to overthrow the grovernment of the United States.”

“The solution is multiple arrests, immediate trials and immediate executions.”

Hear, hear! They are conducting a Treason/Coup Committee.

I thought Hillary was making an argument to deny Nixon the right to counsel.

You are correct on that point.But she remained on the staff of the committee.

When their work was completed, he position was no longer require. and she was terminated, along with all other temporary staff. This was normal. What was not normal was her supervisor refused to recommend her for another position. She then left DC.
